So you like bilious, kind-of-glamorous eulogies to a rotten business? Of course you do, Sunset Blvd. is in there. Why not try Wilder's take on the press, Ace in the Hole. To accompany King of Comedy, you might like another blackish, one-joke Scorsese comedy - After Hours. And as for elegiac Westerns mixing revisionism with mythologisation - try John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and a later Lee Marvin effort, 1970's Monte Walsh.
